we show off our different scarlet letters
"Really?" Looking quietly bemused, Flora's eyes drop from the hard line of the dragoon's jaw down to his leg, and then to his arm. "I can't imagine." Breaking bones or not having access to healing magic. Vai kept both she and Enzo relatively harm-free when they'd been growing up, and save for a few bumps and scrapes, unlike her twin, Flora had made it through life fairly easily. "You know, it's weird to learn things like that about you." She admits, nudging her hip softly against his. "Like...I feel like I know you, and then you say things like about how you wanted to be a vet or that you've broken bones, and it's just..." Beaming up at him before grabbing at her lower lip with her teeth to keep her smile from running away with her, the queen laughs. "...I like it, though." She says a good deal more softly. "I like learning things about you."
It's one of those moments; the ones where you take a mental pictureJim and Pam while at the same time desperately telling yourself to stay present so as not to miss a second of it. As her chin is lifted, Flora breathes in softly, the tail end of the air that slides over her tongue tasting of cinnamon, citrus, and woodsmoke before it's chased by the warm press of Koa's lips. Heat grips the muscles of her belly, making her tense and soften all over as she rises on her toes to press her mouth more firmly against his. It's over long before she wants it to be, and in the space he'd just been, Flora's sigh is as sweet as it is wonderfully frustrated.
Sinking back onto her heels, her cheeks flushed and her stomach alive with butterflies, Flora swallows and nods. "Okay, but you have to swear not to say anything."
